Mpho Tutu, 46, grew up in the shadow of her father, the Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, and his struggle to end apartheid in South Africa. Inspired by her mother’s capacity to listen and her father’s unyielding joy, Tutu followed in her father’s footsteps and was ordained as an Episcopal priest in 2003. She resides in the Northern Virginia suburbs, where she serves as founder and executive director of the Tutu Institute for Prayer & Pilgrimage. She and her father recently published a book titled “Made for Goodness: And Why This Makes All the Difference.” Tutu spoke with The Washington Examiner about her faith in God, and why it gives her such hope for this world.
